In case of erroneous installation, the Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for such damages.
Series F2 80 C L.P.G. (Propane – Butane Mix) For the first pressure drop required in the supply, it is advisable to install a pressure regulator near the liquid gas tank so as to reduce the pressure to 1.5 bar. A pressure regulator for a second pressure drop should be placed near the heater to reduce the pressure from 1.5 bar to 30 mbar (306 mm H O) (allowed tolerance between 20...

Series F2 80 C 5.3 MAINTENANCE An accurate maintenance is always source of saving and safety. Maintenance for heating units must be done, preferably at the beginning of winter, by qualified service engineers. To ensure a correct and continuous operation it is recommended to carry out, at least once a year, a general cleaning of the appliance (by paying particular attention to clean heat exchangers and fan grids) e the combustion tests in conformity with specific regulations on the matter.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING 5.5 FAULTS AND SOLUTIONS Before performing particular tests, make sure that: The power supply is connected: 230 V ± 10% 50 Hz and the appliance is properly grounded. The gas supply is connected. Pressures and flow rates are within the predefined limits. An insufficient gas supply corresponds to a pressure value lower than that indicated by the Manufacturer.
